Covered not with ivy but with tradition; steeped not in regimentation but in
liberal education; imbued not with decadence but with a restless, searching spirit —
this, then, is our Alma Mater.
The true measure of the quality of its educational program is reflected in the
record of its graduates. Our Alma Mater is proud of its achievements but it prefers
to look forward to the future ever alert to the advancement in arts, science, and
other fields of endeavor.
Its guiding spirit and purpose remain unchanged: to mould its curriculum and
expand its facilities to better offer a well-rounded program to prepare men and
women for intelligent living.
This, then, is our Alma Mater.

^Jo the daM 1949:
Your class is the largest to receive degrees from the College departments of the University. It can be sin-
cerely stated that your standards of quality are equal to your numerical strength.
You entered into your classroom duties and extra-curricula activities with marked enthusiasm and tenacity;
you are being graduated with the esteem and confidence of your Alma Mater. Your zest and dogged determina-
tion have resulted in a scholarship and competence of a high order. You recognized and practised the American
formula of success — that you can take away only in proportion as you invested.
You studied at Suffolk during a period marked by transition and growth. By your sincerity, optimism, and
loyalty, each of you has contributed to the advancement of the University. The reputation and fame of Suffolk —
the value the world will place upon the degree you are to receive — depends on the manner in which you, and
those before you and after you demonstrate the ability to contribute to the betterment of your fellow men.
Suffolk is confident that your future record of achievements will add luster to her name. We are proud to present
you as our graduates, secure in the knowledge that the world will add its seal of approval to ours.
As you leave, bearing the affection and best wishes of our Alma Mater, we rejoice in your present and future
success.

1949
We have come a long, hard way. Behind us writhe many long hours of study,
immersed in pools of perspiration and worry. We worked hard and play was like a
strange figure from the past. The fruits were there to be plucked; we had to nurse
the tree of scholastic achievements into a fullness.
Now, far behind us, are "the years that the locust hath eaten." Before us moves a
world convoluting in the throes of uncertainty and fear. Man's inhumanity to man
flourishes in the lands of the world. There is much to be done.
Upon you, the Class of 1 949, falls the mantle of progress and brotherhood. The
world awaits its champion; yours can be the role. To you this BEACON is humbly
dedicated; to you and the knowledge that you will know the principles of freedom,
equality, and justice and spread them through the world.
We have come a long, hard way. Before us — the answer lies inside of you.

Jled We 3o, •get
by Beatrice Butler and Joseph Cullinane
'The men who studied here have traveled far
Toward the heights that mean a world success.
But here we are, we've all succeeded,
We've gained the knowledge that we needed.
But looking back o'er these past years
And thinking of our treatment here,
These thoughts come to our mind. "
Suffolk became more than a school of learning that first year. Remember the clubs, sports, and
other activities that started almost daily under the leadership of the students?
The Class had its first dance as a group on November 26, 1946, in the main ballroom of the City
Club. Music was by George Douglas and his orchestra. This was the first annual Thanksgiving dance, and
for the first time in many years there were many things to be thankful for. The outlook for the future
seemed bright.
It was the first big year in school enrollment. Remember? Eighteen-hundred men and women entered
Suffolk on September 23 to further their education. The young school felt good seeing its corridors filled
with bustling students for the first time.
The Dramatic Club presented its first play Rosmersholm, written by Henrik Ibsen. After many long
tryouts the cast was picked. Richard Carson was the leading man in the role of Rosmer. Five hundred
students and guests sat in the auditorium and watched the Suffolk players score a solid "hit" on their
first try. Do you remember?
It wasn't long before we were dancing again. Jerry Mitchell and his orchestra played for us in the
Empire Room of the Hotel Vendome on March 2 1 , 1947, to usher in the first annual Athletic Dance. Re-
member how busy the Fife and Drum Room was that night?
The Dramatic Workshop, then under the direction of Mr. Donald Hanson, answered the call of the
students for a comedy and began casting for Philip Barry's play, The Animal Kingdom. The play was
such a success it was reguested and presented for the benefit of an I I -year old amputee, Glenwood
Brown, in Maiden.
The first year ended and soon the curtain rose on 500 new students entering Suffolk. It was the
largest opening day in the school's history. The fun started with a bang. The Pilgrim Belle was host to a
large group of students early in the year. The ever-growing Student Council, led by President Tom
McDonald, sponsored the moonlight sail. There were quiet seas and a moonlight sky for us that night. It
seemed like the deck got the biggest play.
Remember the first Hobo Dance? The tables in the Suffolk library were pushed back to make danc-
ing room for the more than 200 patched-up dancers. George Karavasiles sang that night. Remember the
song — My Heart Belongs To a Hobo? You should; it was the theme song for the night.
We were a great bunch of dancers and it wasn 't long before we had taken over the main ballroom
of the Copley Plaza, with its slick floors and great chandeliers, for the second annual Thanksgiving Dance
sponsored by the Social Club. Eleven-hundred persons swayed and dreamed to the music of Peter Cutler,
his piano, and orchestra. Remember To Each His Own?
61
We took time for an election. Charlie Knapp won the President's seat in a tight Sophomore election
. . . The headline of the year — Long Skirts Predominant At Suffolk . . . Jim Conefrey and Mort Feinberg
teamed to bring about the birth of the Yowler . . . Bea Butler became the first Miss Suffolk. And we
studied all the while even while we played.
The last call of the year went to the cast of Fashion, or Life in New York. Thanks to Barbara Parsons,
Bob Steadman, Pat McKee, Carolyn Cifu, Lois Levine, and all the others, the play was the "fashion" in
Suffolk . . . Robinson and Gullason were still fighting it out for the championship of the ping-pong panels.
One of our New Year's resolutions came to life early in February with the announcement that a
Varsity Club was being formed. The club held the first Blue and Gold Sportster's Dance in the main ball-
room of the Hotel Bradford on the night of March 5. Bob Dennis and his orchestra played while you
and your girl danced to tunes like Near You, Laura, and I'll Dance At Your Wedding. Try humming one
to see if you remember.
The Glee Club reached new heights that year under the direction of Mr. William O. Goss, Jr. The
group elected Art Foster, president; Ed Griffin, vice-president; and Ed Cunningham, secretary-treasurer.
The singers numbered thirty-seven, and represented all the classes.
The Library opened its doors again on March 20, 1 948, for a new type of dance with a worthy
cause. The Student Council, answering the plea of Rev. Joseph A. Robinson, chaplain in the Massachu-
setts State prison, sponsored a "Look for a book" campaign. The highlight of the drive was a "Look for
a book" dance. The admission price was a book to be sent to the prison library. The dance, with music by
Bob Mahoney, his saxophone, and College Five, was a great success, and the Chaplain penned his ap-
proval and gratitude.
About this time another Summer semester began. Nearly 500 students remained in accelerated
courses and sweated the hot days out in the shadow of the State House.
The leaves began to fall, and the doors of Suffolk were opened to more than 2000 students on
REGISTRATION DAY AT SUFFOLK — The new school year began but it took a
lot of long lines to get it started.
September 23, 1948. These students hailed from all over the United States — Arizona, California, Colo-
rado, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, and even one from Palestine and two from Arabia.
Remember the rumors that started early in the year — Movie actress coming to Suffolk . . .
Who? . . . No one knows . . . and we brushed the idea aside as a touch of fantasy. Then it happened,
and we'll never forget Jane Wyman, the Academy Award winner, in her coral-colored dress complete
with matching necktie. The star of Johnny Belinda and other movies, made a big hit at Suffolk.
62
We got our biggest thrili when we saw the Journal of October 25 . . . Poll shows: DEVER TO
SWEEP STATE; TRUMAN WILL TRIUMPH ... and the poll was right, Mr. Roper, Mr. Gallup, and
Mr. Crossley.
The third annual Thanksgiving Dance was held in the Imperial Ballroom of the Hotel Statler. Freddy
Guerra and his orchestra played for the more than 500 Suffolk students and their dates. Remember
the fun we had at Chinatown after the dance?
The Senior Class election results were announced that night. Carroll Sheehan was elected president;
Al Ross, vice-president; George Karavasiles, secretary; and Jack McCarthy, treasurer. Remember how
close the race was?
The funniest thing that hit Suffolk that year was Charlie's Aunt. Starring Joe Valcour as the ficti-
tious aunt and Gerry Noonan as Brasset, the butler, the play was acclaimed the most hilarious produc-
tion in the history of Suffolk. Remember the tea bags?
Bob Bachelder and his orchestra furnished the music for the Senior Cabaret Hop just before
Christmas. Two hundred dancers glided 'cross the eleventh floor of the City Club that night.
Winter came and went. May came with its flowers and the first annual Junior-Senior Ball at the
Louis XIV Ballroom at the Hotel Somerset. More than 600 dancers were there. The Salon and the Persian
Room (with its glass bar and novel resting posts) were gathering spots for the upperclassmen and their
dates. Remember the songs we danced to . . . Galway Bay, Far Away Places, I Love You So Much It
Hurts Me . . . We didn't want the evening to end ... It was almost the end of the road for us.
The final exams came and went . . . then Alumni Day . . . Crane Beach . . . Riverside . . .
the play . . . Graduation Week that started Sunday, June 12 . . . Commencement, Wednesday, June 15
. . . Th is was the final curtain on our school lives.
These were the highlights of our four years at Suffolk. The day of graduation has passed. The
history of what is to come will have to be made and written by some other class. The years that
are to follow seem as uncertain as the years were before us, when we began.
The talk of a third World War and compulsory military training, the "Iron Curtain", the Berlin air
life, Communism, Socialism, and Fascism, can only add up to unrest and uneasy feelings. Subtract
these from the United Nations and the scales still tilt toward world domination through world wars by
some great power. One or the other, world domination or the United Nations, must win out.
There can be no combinations or compromises.
Our degree from Suffolk is more than a piece of paper bearing an inscription of our accomplish-
ments. It is the answer to the problem of preserving our ideals.

Founded in 1 946 to stimulate an interest in professional writing and literary
criticism, the club became one of the most active groups at Suffolk in its third year.
The group held informal meetings twice monthly to read and discuss original manu-
scripts. These round table talks, guided by faculty advisor Thomas Savage, usually
included discussions on the contemporary novel and short story techniques. Particular
emphasis shown in the members' writing was on originality and style. Although member-
ship was open to all, for the most part the group comprised students who planned to
enter the various fields of professional and journalistic writing.
The major project of the club was the continued publication of 20 DERNE, a
literary magazine in which were placed the best manuscripts submitted during the
year. The success of this publication which was launched in the Spring of I948
prompted the club this year to publish two issues, one in the Fall and a second in the
Spring. The Spring issue contained the prize-winning short story and the prize-winning
poem of the contest sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts. Other manuscripts
were chosen by a board of judges after careful discussion as to literary quality. In-
cluded were short stories, poems, and essays. Over 200 copies of each issue were
sent tu other colleges and to critics and editors. Professional criticism was sought and
the magazine was acclaimed one of the best published by a small college.
The club completes its yearly activities with an all day outing in June planned by
the club officers.

Created to give students a tangible background in the theatre arts — makeup,
set construction, lighting, designing, and acting — the Suffolk Dramatic Workshop
this year met the challenge of previous seasons by offering the students a first rate
bill of dramatic entertainment, and adding new brilliance to the Workshop's already
shining reputation.
Early in the fall, Director George Kirwin's hard-working group set the season off
to a rollicking start with the time-proven comedy CHARLIE'S AUNT. The group played
to capacity audiences at Suffolk and then went on to present five additional benefit
performances of the hit show at Veteran's hospitals in Greater Boston.
In the Spring, the production of THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, a sparkling
presenlation which was both exciting and delightful for the Suffolk Players and their
audiences, met with even greater success, both from the standpoint of artistic achieve-
ment as well as that of providing a good time for all concerned. The acclaim with
which audiences received this second hit was most encouraging, and, as with the Fall
show, the Players repeated the success in additional performances away from school.
The efforts of the Workshop this past season have set a high standard for Suffolk
players of the future, and much credit must be given to Director Kirwin for his excel-
lent choice of artists in furthering the growing appreciation of the theatre at Suffolk.

One of the most popular organizations of the student body, SUDS, this year met
some thirty colleges and universities throughout New England and New York State.
The fall season was highlighted by the participation in the intercollegiate debating
tournament held at the University of Vermont, where the chief topic was: Resolved,
That the Federal Government Should Adopt a Policy of Equalizing Education in Tax-
Supported Schools by Means of Annual Grants. Eight students, under the guidance of
Faculty Advisor Joseph H. Strain, contested with students from Rutgers, Annapolis,
Amhersl, Colby, and other collegiate teams.
In December, the extensive debating program included debating tours to Colby
College, as well as to Yale and Brown. Preparations were launched last December to
have Suffolk represented at the West Point National Intercollegiate Debating
Tournament.
A series of eight debates at Suffolk with Boston College, Holy Cross, Boston
University and M.I.T., afforded the student body opportunities to hear this excellent
group which is fast gaining an enviable reputation throughout the New England area.
The well rounded program was climaxed with a series of radio debates with Salem
Teachers College aired over a local Boston network.

Italian C^lub
Organized to aid the student in acquiring a rich background in the Italian lan-
guage and the cultural atmosphere in which it is spoken, the Italian Club, one of
Suffolk's oldest organizations, has enjoyed one of its most active years since its founding.
Open to all members of the University, the club met twice monthly to enjoy in-
formal lectures by prominent speakers. Slides on Old and New Rome and the rest of
Italy were usually shown at the meetings.
Special evenings were usually set aside throughout the year for suppers at any
one of Boston's many famed Italian Restaurants.
The club officers for the past year were Ascenzio Silvagni, president; Salvatore
Rapisarda, secretary; Ralph Gisonna, vice-president; and Joseph Candura, treasurer.

ernational delations C^-iu
The IRC meets to study, discuss, and interpret international relations and national policies which di-
rectly or indirectly affect the individual and his relationships in a world society.
To stimulate interest in world affairs the IRC has sponsored many open forums and debates in the
University auditorium. The first forum this year featured Congressmen John F. Kennedy, Walter O'Brien,
and George Casey. The president of the IRC, George Elias, acted as chairman and moderator.
Throughout the year club forums were sponsored for members on pertinent international affairs.
Topics were presented by authorities in their respecfive fields. With the full cooperation of the Suffolk
faculty, the IRC was able to present many interesting and varied discussions at the meetings.
The Suffolk IRC, with the cooperation of the Boston College IRC, sponsored the first inter-city ban-
guet of the IRC. This affair, soon to include other colleges and universities in Boston, has turned into a
monthly event.
IRC members attended the New England regional conference, and Charles Simon, Norman Cotter,
Elaine Weinberg, John Stanton, Milton Cohen, Ed Seferian, and George Elias made up the Suffolk dele-
gation to the conference at the University of Vermont.
The latest endeavor of the club was to sponsor an Essay contest, open to ail students.

Organized in the Spring of 1948, the Glee Club is the newest on the growing
list of off-campus activities at Suffolk. Since its inception, the organization has shown
a steady growth and now has a permanent enrollment of more than 40 members.
The group, under the able direction of Mr. William O. Goss, Jr., made its debut
at the Athletic Day program in May, 1948. It was received with enthusiasm by the
student body. Under its expanded program this year the club gave a series of concerts
at holiday assemblies and, in conjunction with the radio workshop, took part in a
broadcast and later gave one public concert.
Highlight of the season's activities was the club's appearance at the faculty tea al
Christmas.

The Philosophy Club of Suffolk University was established to foster philosophic
study and discussion. In accordance with this purpose it has remained a liberal and
enlightened organization, catering to those who wish to discuss and contemplate the
problems of man and his civilization.
Socially, the club offers the student an opportunity to meet informally with his
fellows for the purpose of discussing problems from a philosophic point of view. In-
tellectually, it offers an opportunity to enrich and broaden the student's outlook on
life. Mr. William Sahakian, the Philosophy Club's mediator, has been an active par-
ticipant in the interests of the club. This year, Dr. Seldon P. Peterfreund has assisted
Mr. Sahakian, with the result that the club has been enriched by the ideas of two differ-
ent schools of thought.
Membership in the club is open to all students of the University, but subject to
attendance at three consecutive meetings. There are fifteen active members and
one honorary member. The meetings are conducted on an informal basis and held
once every two weeks. Occasionally, the club holds a social affair in one of the
local hotels.

^u^olh journal
Since its resurrection in November of 1946, the Journal has not only improved
with every issue but has taken its place among the foremost college papers in the
country. For Journalism students and those who plan to enter any of the fields of
writing, the Journal continues to offer invaluable and practical experience. But there
is other work to be done on the Journal besides writing. There are departments of
photography, business, advertising, circulation, and exchange.
The Journal comes out every two weeks, with six or eight pages. Room 40, the
newspaper office, is one of the busiest places in the University. There are stories to
be written and rewritten, copy to be edited, pages to be made up, proofs to be read,
ads to be solicited, and copies to be mailed out. The Journal has all the atmosphere
of a daily metropolitan newspaper.
Operated under an entirely new staff since March, the Journal continues to
progress. Even a new record for the number of ads in one issue has been set. The
faculty advisor for the Journal is Mr. Richard I. Strunsky.
The biggest scoop of the 1949 Journal year came just before election time in
November. A poll of the students was taken, and in a story by-lined Warren Nigro,
the Journal correctly predicted that Governor Paul A. Dever would sweep the Massa-
chusetts vote while President Harry S. Truman would carry the nation.

The Newman Club, functioning as a member of the nation-wide National Catholic
Student's Group, is organized to further spiritual, intellectual, and social relationships
on non-sectarian campuses. One of Suffolk's newer organizations, the club has never-
theless er joyed a most successful year under the guidance of Faculty Advisor Francis X.
Guindon and the spiritual leadership of Father Robert Burns, C.S.P.
The club met twice monthly, the program of each meeting alternating guest
speakers and recreational activities. The discussions and question periods following
guest lectures were found helpful in answering the problems of Catholic students.
Informal socials with other Newman Clubs in Greater Boston were a regular part of
the season's program.
A member of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs, the club sends an official
delegate to the Province Convention held at different colleges each year.
Three times each year, before Christmas, Easter, and summer vacation, the
members receive Holy Communion in a body, followed by a Communion Breakfast.
Highlight of the past year was the Silver Tea, held at the Park Street Chapel on
April 4th.
Officials of the organization were Richard Shaughnessy, president; John Griffin,
vice-president; Eugene Sullivan, treasurer; and Arthur Shea, secretary.

To simulate interest in psychology and to foster the interchange of information
on the various schools of psychology has been the purpose of the club this year.
Dr. Leo Lieberman opened the fall meeting with an enlightening talk outlining the
scope of the year's activities which were planned to acquaint the members with
psychology in action through field trips, aptitude testing, and job analysis.
The club met every two weeks and held informal discussions on the various forms
of neuroses and psychoses which have potential and actual existence within the basic
structure of family life.
Several movies were shown during the year, and Gregory J. Gregory, consultant
and member of the Massachusetts Board of Education, was a featured guest speaker.
The club sponsored informal teas with the psychology clubs of neighboring colleges
and, through a collaboration with Boston University, inter-collegiate discussions were
held.
Presentation during the winter of a special program in the auditorium gained
campus-wide attention.

Embarking on its second year, the Rifle and Pistol Club still proves to be one of the most popular
clubs at Suffolk. Practise shoots at the police range in Medford City Hall one night each week prepare
the team for competing in intercollegiate matches.
Applicants for membership must be at least eighteen years of age for the rifle team and at least
twenty-one years of age for the pistol team. Previous experience is not a requisite since the club has
former Marine Corps instructors who explain the use of the rifle and pistol and teach safety measures.
The Rifle and Pistol Club sponsors many social affairs well, and last year gave two trophies to the
high men on the rifle and pistol terms. The club also published periodically a mimeographed bulle-
tin for its members to keep them informed of latest news, pertaining to rifles and pistols, small arms,
and new regulations.

The department of Journalism inaugurated an unique and highly successful work-
shop this year. Touching every field within the scope of journalism, the radio workshop,
under the guidance of faculty advisor Richard Strunsky, formerly of CBS, provided
practical and professional outlets for students interested in radio techniques. These
included production, planning, writing, editing, and continuity. The workshop estab-
lished a fifteen minute program early in November, called THE SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY
SHOW and aired it over station WVOM as a public service.
The format was designed with a dramatic presentation of collegiate news, and
featured a salute of the week and an interview with prominent persons in all fields of
cultural, professional, and business endeavors.
A Telephone poll established that the show was heard by a large audience in
greater Boston and the workshop members decided to expand to a half hour format.
Among featured personalities who were interviewed were, His Excellency, Governor
Paul A. Dever; the noted conductor of the Boston Pops, Arthur Fiedler; orchestra
leader Lorry Green; stage and screen personality Jackie Cooper; Matt Horner, set
designer for the Boston Tributary Theatre; Ephriam A. Brest, Chairman of the Mystic
River Bridge Authority; Dr. Antonio Tauro, surgeon and author; Thomas Dorgan, clerk
of the Superior Civil Court; Baron Hugo, orchestra leader, and Suffolk's own novelist,
Thomas Savage.

Another new organization at Suffolk is the Sociology Club. It is dedicated to
bringing about an understanding of current social problems to the student body, and
to bring to light interesting sidelights on human relationships.
At the organizational meeting, a constitution was submitted by Richard Simmons
and Barbara Parsons and accepted by the members. The officers elected were Richard
Simmons, president; Zaren Vorperian, vice-pesident; Ruth Lee, secretary-treasurer;
and Robert Wise, entertainment committee chairman.
Keeping in mind its purpose of presenting a wide variety of topics to club
members, the Sociology Club has had guest speakers on such subjects as "India
Today," "Fair Employment Practises,' 'and "Alcoholic Anonymous."
The club is working on getting more interesting speakers on a greater variety of
subjects. As a fitting climax to their first season, the club will suspend activities for
this school year with a club Social.
79
The Student Council, governed by a constitution adopted by the student body,
has been in activation here for the past three years. The purpose of the Council is to
cooperate in joint representation with both the faculty and students in coordinating
and unifying the life at the University. It affords a medium for the expression of
undergraduate sentiment in an effort to elicit the specific needs of the student body
by the execution of powers placed within its jurisdiction.
The Council consists of twelve members of the student body of high academic
standing. These representatives are elected by their respective classes in May of each
year. This democratic body has a strong influence in everything the University does.
The highly successful work of the two previous Councils consisted of laying the
groundwork for succeeding student bodies. This year's Council has progressed even
more. It has brought about the induction of various student organizations in the
University. It has fostered the NSA program in the school. The Council sent two
delegates to the NSA convention at Mount Holyoke College last November, and
participated in the NSA area festival sponsored by Regis College in April.
It has also sent delegates to the convention held in February at the University of
Massachusetts and to the Human Relations Convention at Boston University in March.
The Council is an active member of the Greater Boston Student Government Body.
Representatives attended meetings held at Simmons in November and Babson Institute
in February.

A new election was held in January and Edward Keough, a Sophomore CLA
student, was named the new editor. Under Keough, the Yowler is a three page weekly,
published on the Tuesday of each school week. The new policy of the Yowler staff

WASU is the most important co-ed activity at Suffolk. Its purpose — to foster
friendship among the women students — was amply fulfilled this past year. Under the
guidance of the advisor to women, Dr. Catherine Fehrer, WASU swung into the Fall
term with an informal reception and tea to welcome freshmen co-eds.
Many worth-while projects were sponsored to acquaint new students with college
life and to stimulate their interest in extra curricular activities. As a staunch supporter
of school activities, WASU played an active part in student elections, ticket-selling
drives, athletic events, and school dances. Showing an interest in civic activities,
WASU sponsored a Red Feather girl, Carolyn Cifu, who aided in the Greater Boston
Community Chest Drive. The association also collected money for the CARE food
drive at Christmas.
The highlight of the social season was the tea held for the wives of the faculty
of the College Club. Assisting Dr. Fehrer and WASU members in greeting the wives
of the faculty and administration were President and Mrs. Walter M. Burse, and Vice-
President and Mrs. Arthur W. Hanson.
That Dr. Fehrer and WASU have succeeded in accomplishing their purpose is
testified by the ardent participation of WASU in almost every phase of school activity.

Each year in more than 600 American universities and colleges throughout the
country, the names of outstanding seniors are compiled in WHO'S WHO IN
AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. Outstanding seniors whose leadership,
character, scholarship, success in extra-curricular activities show future promise are
nominated for this award by a committee representing the faculty, administration, and
student council.
Since its founding in 1934, the prestige of this nation-wide organization has grown
with each year. The book has become a standard reference of the young men and
women most likely to succeed.
The editors of this publication establish a direct contact between colleges and the
business and professional worlds by providing employers with information about col-
lege seniors who are promising potential employees.
One of the highest honors a student at Suffolk may attain is nomination for
WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.

Recognizing the wisdom of mental expansion through
extra-curricular activities, the Social Club has been the
guiding force in helping the student body supplement
and enrich its academic experiences through a wide vari-
ety of social activities.
Symbolic of the good will fostered by the club was its
tremendously expanded program. Its members were united
by the one objective of promoting school spirit through
off campus activities. One of the major accomplishments
of the club was the establishment of student activity
cards. The club began its calendar of events with the
colorful Frosh Hobo dance held in the library on Hal-
lowe'en. More than 200 freshmen turned out in costume
to get acguainted with their fellow classmates.
Following this affair came the highly successful Thanks-
giving Dance which is slated as an annual event. It was
held in the Imperial Ballroom of the Hotel Statler where
some 1200 students and their guests danced to the smooth
music of Freddy Guerra and his Schillinger House or-
chestra.
Next, the club sponsored the Christmas Cabaret
Dance for the senior class. In the roof ballroom of the
Boston City Club, Suffolk University seniors ushered in
the holidays. Good music for dancing and a well-planned
program of entertainment made for a memorable evening.
Nor were the Sophs and Juniors overlooked. For each
class, the hard working members of the Social club came
up with something special in the way of dances. And
in May, the student body was treated to its first formal
dance of the year. Plans were launched in December for
this, the peak social event of the season — the Senior
Prom, held at Boston's smart Hotel Somerset.

The Varsity Club has always aimed at creating an
active interest in the sporting activities among the stu-
dent body at Suffolk.
The club held a very successful smoker at the begin-
ning of the school year, and the entire club got together
to watch sporting films and discuss the program for the
year.
The main purpose of the club is to establish among the
lettermen an organization that will meet now and after
graduation and do everything possible to stimulate in-
terest in sporting events at Suffolk. All lettermen are
eligible to join the Varsity Club. Officers this year were
Dick Long, president; George Duffy, vice-president; Al
Ross, secretary; and Bob Murphy, treasurer.

EL CIRCULO ESPANOL is open to all students interested in the study of Spanish
civilization. Intent on promoting the good neighbor policy, the club acts as liaison for
those who would like to work in Latin-American countries. It does this by providing
job information for its members and by promoting at its meetings interest in the
Spanish-speaking people of our hemisphere.
Programs have included lectures, trips, and social functions featuring speakers
particularly interested in the language, culture, and ideals of the Hispanic countries.
The semi-monthly meetings have offered to members a wider and more picturesque
view of Spanish civilization than could be offered in the classroom.

Starring Melarius, .410, MacAndrew, .357, O'Brien, .353, and Reardon, .348, as
the heavy artillery, the Royals were impressive. They garnered 90 runs while giving up
only 55. Beating Harvard in an early pre-season game, 5-4, the diamond-dusters went
on to play Devens, Tufts, Lowell Tech., Assumption, Bridgewater, New Bedford Tex.,
and MJ.T.
Coach Charley Law has embarked on this season with the problem of replace-
ments. With a 14 game schedule before him, he hopes to fill the positions from the
58 boys who turned out for the '49 team.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE SEASON — In a terrific game against Tufts, O'Brien
pitched the best game of his career, but Suffolk lost, 2-1, in the last of the ninth when
the opposing pitcher reached way over the plate at a bad ball and hit a blooper that
drove in the winning run.

Soccer
Under the capable and inspired leadership of Coach Tom Collins, the Suffolk
booters have compiled an impressive record over the past two seasons. Playing eight
games, the Royals won two, tied two, and lost four. Only two men on the team had
ever played soccer before, and these two — Captain John Szemkovicz and goalie John
Barlog — showed the way for the newcomers to the game.
Outstanding on the team were Joe Hanton, Leo Soucy, Bill Jenks, Wally Walko-
vich, and John Dajani, a student here from Palestine. Coach Collins expects big
things from the team that will take the field next Fall.
SOCCER HIGHLIGHT — Suffolk led Tufts by a one to nothing score for most of
the game. Just before the game ended Tufts booted in the goal that tied up the
score, and sent the battle into overtime. The two teams battled back and forth but
neither could score so the game was called with the score, I- 1. Not even the great
strength of Tufts could prevail over the outnumbered but not outplayed Blue and Gold.

The Blue and Gold got off to a slow start this season. Most of the regulars from
last year's stellar team, around whom Coach Charley Law planned on building, did not
return to school this year. Still the hoopsters came out with five wins as against
seven losses.
The results of the earlier games does not do the team justice since Coach Law
had to reorganize and build an entire new team. The only regular from last year was
Captain Tom Devlin. Under the tutelage of Coach Law, the boys of the Blue and
Gold came through in their last three games, sweeping through the opposition in a
breeze.
When the season ended, Coach Law had his team rolling and was highly optimistic
about the future of Suffolk's quintet. Next season the team will face the toughest
opponents yet.
BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHT — In the hard-fought game against Bridgewater State,
the fighting Suffolk five lost by the thin margin of one point. Suffolk was leading right
down to the gun but Bridgewater pulled out the game, 60-59.

This year's Hockey team showed great ability the entire season, but due to lack
of practice ice, the Royals ended up winning 2 games, all tied up in another, and
losing 6.
Co-Captain Bob Morgan, the high-flying ace from Hudson, led the scoring race
with 1 4 goals and I I assists for a total of 25 points.
Coach Tom Collins is optimistic about next year's outlook. Only one member of
the '49 team — Al Ross — will be lost through graduation. The '50 aggregation will
again be headed by Rapid Robert Morgan.

Matches have been arranged with Tufts College, University of Massachusetts, Babson Institute, and
New Britain's Teacher College.
The tennis sguad reported early in the Spring to prepare for the year's matches. The team worked
out at the Charles Bank courts, and was built around a nucleus of lettermen Neil Cronin, James Meikle,
George Karavasiles, Philip Brooks, Don Leary, Tom Sykes, and Roy Barnes. Newcomers pressing the
veterans for a position on the sguad were Al Ross, George Elias, Ira Warshawsky, Ben Kublin, Ed Ruben-
stein, and Bill Pearlman.
Last year's team had a record of fifteen wins and three losses — a record that this year's team
hopes to better in its matches against M.I.T., Devens, Babson Institute, Assumption College, Stonehill
College, Holy Cross, and Babson again.
Suffolk sailing enthusiasts competed in the Charles River Basin League this year against M.l.T.
